2015 Seismic Exploration News Reports

High frequency multi-beam echo sounders are often used to scare away whales and dolphins as a precurcor to using a controlled seismic source of energy, such as a specialized air gun or a seismic vibrator to map the ocean floor during exploration. Due to the extremely high level of noise produced by seismic air-guns (that endanger large whales) ramping-up noise levels over hours of start-up is a legal requirement. The use of echo sounders avoids this delay. However, even the echo sounder can be dangerous to smaller whales and dolphins if it scares the animals into situations where they can die. This is just as serious of an issue.

Image: Schematic diagram of a seismic reflection survey method in an offshore region with a seismic exploration vessel at sea level. In 2D seismic exploration, a survey vessel tows a set of air-guns as an explosion source and one hydrophone streamer cable. The sound from the seismic source goes to the sea bottom and penetrates into the underground, then reflects at or refracts through any geological layer boundaries. In a conventional seismic survey, reflected P-waves are used to obtain seismic reflection records. Refracted waves, S-waves and surface waves are ignored because they are considered as noise.
